yeah, that's the entire point of everything and what really matters: power to weight ratios.
Also, generally the lighter the car the better, while maintaining an equal ratio.
That said, my buddy has the Vette Z06 AT, and that thing is incredible in a way I never thought I'd experience outside of a manual or DCT, so maybe I need to go drive a sporty ZF8 equipped car to see how it responds to inputs.
I personally think that I'd answer that question as yes if it had a DCT or 6spd option. Do I believe that car is worth it being ZF8 equipped? For me? No.
Other than that, the only car worth a damn (IMO) in that price bracket is the vette, and that's the car I've always compared the Supras to as...

you also cant compare used cars with new cars; apples to oranges.

in fact, let's take that 67k and add the stuff that comes standard on everything else:
-Self adjusting LED headlights
-2 way adjustable seats (full leather)
-PDK (closest to auto)
-Adaptive cruise control
-Lane assist
-Auto dimming mirrors
-Dual zone climate
= $78,750
and there's TONS of...
who said the car is gonna cost Porsche prices? o_O
well, unless the Cayman S magically comes down in price by about $12-15k. And again, the Cayman at that 67k level is about as bare bones as it gets...
